On Sunday night Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter were bunched very tightly together, forming a triangle just 2 degrees on a side.
Looking to the west-northwest after sunset, Nick Strawn captured the following photo from Katy, and was kind enough to send it along. Be sure to click the image to enlarge it.
The three planets were clustered so tightly that, if you were to hold a golf ball at arm’s length, they would be well within the circumference of the ball.
Tonight Jupiter and Venus will move closer in the night sky, but Mercury will be further above them. The trio still should appear as a pretty tightly knit group, however.
Best time to look is about 30 minutes after sunset, toward the western horizon.
